Abstract
A hot air dryer utilizes high velocity air jets which scrub and break up the moist air layer which clings to the surface of a freshly printed sheet. High velocity air is heated to a high temperature as it flows along a resistance heating element within an air delivery baffle tube. The heated, high velocity air pressurizes a plenum chamber within an air distribution manifold. High velocity jets of hot air are discharged through multiple air flow apertures onto the wet ink side of a printed sheet as it moves through the dryer exposure zone. An extractor removes the moist air layer, high velocity hot air and volatiles from the printed sheet and exhausts it from the press.
